True/False

A network technician is laying a new fiber optic cable parallel to an existing line represented by the equation y=12x3y = \frac{1}{2}x - 3. To construct the algebraic equation for the new cable path passing through the point (6, 4), the technician correctly assumes that the slope of the new line must be 12\frac{1}{2}. Is this assumption correct?
